Yeah, sometimes a place makes up for a bad moment in a big way, like with wadejenkins and that coffee. It shows they actually care about fixing things, you know? That kind of response can totally change your view of a spot.

That bit about "dedicated nomad insurance is worth the cost" seems like a trap. Those plans are crazy expensive and still have tons of fine print. I've used a basic travel policy for years and just pay out of pocket for small stuff. Saved thousands compared to my friend on a fancy global plan who still fought over claims. Sometimes hoping for the best and having a big emergency fund is just simpler math.
